Well we finally can go outside without being attacked. I swear those nasty buggers were awful.. kiling chickens and other fowl.. and many people ended up at the hospital with bites and allergic reactions. I had to put ice packs on my bites, take benedryl and antibotics!!

Yesterday was able to spend some time in one of the flower beds.. goodness I am way way behind!! And it is too windy today to do much so will have to wait until the wind dies down.. we are supposed to get 50 + MPH winds off and on today, mostly this afternoon. I got so far behind that I might not get caught up until fall..LOL

What is one supposed to do about quack grass?? I spent hours in one bed yesterday digging the whole thing out. Quack grass was taking over my daylillies and asiatic lillies. It is much better now, but I did not dig up the lillies because they have buds on them and I know there probably is some grass roos under them..that grass puts runners out by the foot! Anyone had any suggestions about getting rid or or controlling in some manner the quack grass?? Also have trouble with a weed that looks like clover, but has yellow flowers on it .. it will grow in rock or anywhere.. not sure what to use on it.. could use some help with that one as well.

Grandkids are coming this weekend so gotta get busy getting things child proof before they get here. I dont get to see the younger ones often because they live so far away. I will surely be worn out by Sunday, the younger ones are 8, 5 and 2. Now I know why we had children while we were young!! LOL
